Side floods above saddle, port and starboard Following is a breakdown of the templates included: These templates are made to fit tight against existing parts of the kit to further increase the overall accuracy of the finished subject. These are drill templates, made for standard size drill bits wherever possible. If you study the listing above, you will notice that much of the set consists of patterns and templates for the various vent systems of the boat.

In this section of the review we will highlight and discuss the correction possibilities of the PE set overall. TORP DOORS - resized with rivets to fit cheeks Since early July of this year, WEM has been the sole manufacturer and distributor of the U-Brass PE set, and will be available in a few weeks from White Ensign Models.ĬHEEK PATTERN B (or with modification PATTERN A)ĬHEEK PATTERN VIIB (or with modification PATTERN C)ĭRILL TEMPLATE for MAIN FLOODS (to add more) Shortly after this, the first run production of the set was completely sold out!ĭue to the high demand of the set, U-Brass has teamed up with White Ensign Models to help to meet the modelers’ demands of this item. At the time of the story’s publication, the PE set was completed, and orders were being filled. These two got together and decided to create a photo-etch set for one of their favorite subjects, the VIIC U-boat, and also give other modelers the chance to re-create a more accurate finished subject. U-Brass is a partnership of two very talented modelers, direct from the waters of MSW, Wink Grise’ (Rokket2001) and Dougie Martindale (dougie47). Never heard of U-Brass?.well, a short while back, a news story was published here at MSW, about this up and coming manufacturer, and also discussed this new PE set in detail. Using this set, you can correct many problems with these two kits, and this PE set also gives many choices to the modeler depending upon which actual boat he is depicting. The Revell Type VIIC U-Boat in 1/72 scale has grown to be one of the most popular choices in the submarine modeling community, with many modelers spending large amounts of money for A/M upgrade kits to increase the accuracy of their subject, but most often overlooked is the modification of the free flowing vent systems of the boat. Falling in line with the Dive! Dive! Dive! 2 Campaign here at MSW, comes the announcement of a very interesting new photo-etch set designed for Revell’s 1/72 scale VIIC U-boat kit, and the newly released VIIC/41 as well.
